Mason Greenwood Signs Four‑Year Deal with Fenerbahçe
Transfer fee and contract details
Fenerbahçe have secured English forward Mason Greenwood on a four‑year contract. The Turkish club set the fee at 39 million euros, equivalent to £33.27 million. Earlier reports indicated a higher total of €45 million, or £38.36 million. Both presidential candidates, Aziz Yildirim and Hakan Safi, voiced interest in the player before June’s elections.
Goal‑scoring record at Marseille
During his spell at Marseille, Greenwood netted 48 goals in 81 appearances across all competitions. His haul placed him joint‑second in the 2025‑26 Ligue 1 golden boot standings. He finished behind only Rennes’ Esteban Lepaul, who also scored 16 times. The tally highlighted his striking ability in the French top flight.
Journey from Manchester United
Greenwood moved to Marseille from Manchester United in July 2024 for a £26.6 million fee. United reportedly included a sizable sell‑on clause, believed to be around 40 % of any future transfer. The club later ruled out his return after an internal review cleared him of past allegations. A loan spell with Getafe followed in the 2023‑24 season.
Legal background and club stance
After sexual assault charges were dropped in February 2023, United conducted an internal inquiry. The investigation concluded that Greenwood would not be welcomed back to Old Trafford. This decision reinforced the club’s zero‑tolerance policy on such matters. Greenwood himself said, “Hello Fenerbahce family, thank you so much for the support you have shown me. I am very happy to be here,” as he announced his new berth.
Fenerbahçe’s ambitions for the upcoming season
Fenerbahçe have finished second in the Turkish Super Lig for five straight campaigns. The side will face Poland’s Gornik Zabrze in the Champions League second qualifying round this month. Both president‑elect Aziz Yildirim and challenger Hakan Safi have expressed confidence in strengthening the squad. Greenwood’s arrival is viewed as a key component of their title push.
